Sally King McBride
Sally King McBride is the Founder and Artist behind The Letter Nest, a brand of distinctive and educational alphabet art, which she founded in 2019 in New York City. Having worked for over a decade at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and with degrees in Art History from both Brown and Columbia, Sally applies a rich artistic vocabulary to her phonetic watercolor letters. She grew up as a faculty kid at the various schools where her mother worked; by result, education is at the heart of what she creates, and the connection of letter and image has been central to her painting practice for the past fifteen years. Sally is a 2021 Tory Burch Fellow, and a frequent collaborator with other women-owned businesses.
